I constantly for about 15 to 30 mins get the "connected" and then the "not connected" If I am lucky I wind up getting on very late at night. Also, I constantly pray that each dowload will go through...I don't know if other users are experiencing this or what. LIMEWIRE IS THE BEST!!! I have had no problems w/LIMEWIRE It is helpful, reliable and always ready to go a-hunting. Mactella on the other hand....who knows?????...I have a G3 Power Mac 8.6, Any comments or suggestions...? Thanks!
